Our 2025 National PTA of the Year Award winner: Lydeard St Lawrence PTFA

I am proud to nominate our PTFA. They are proof that a small group with a big heart can make all the difference.” 

The judges said this winner’s transformative effect was shown through their dedication to providing a thriving, inclusive and resilient community. From imaginative initiatives like the magical tractor run and the growing garden to ensuring every child can access trips and essentials, they have rebuilt emotional connections, championed literacy and leadership, all while fostering unity across schools through collaborative events.
